My professional interests lie in software, entrepreneurship, research, and teaching. Most of all, I care about people and community. My experiences teaching have shown me how important community is in listening, learning, and making an impact.

I recently graduated from University at Buffalo with a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering. I moved back to my hometown Pittsburgh, PA where I will be working with a computer vision startup. Please feel free to contact me about any ongoing open-source or research-based projects.

Mentorship

Mentorship is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy helping students to build software solutions to real problems. My expertise lies in developing the concept for a minimal viable product, tracking the software lifecycle, launching beta testing for user feedback, and mediation to help resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Are you interested in having me as your mentor for a project? Anyone is welcome. Please sign-up by sending me an email and see past projects that I've been a mentor for while at University at Buffalo.
